if you notice one last point, i push back on the obama budget, so let's talk about independent reach across the aisles and being reasonable. i told you no one tells me what to do. i am an independent business woman and i will reach across the aisles. [ applause ] >> dick, i thought she might reach across the debate stage and knock one on sanford's chin there. she was not pulling any punches, not tying herself to nancy pelosi. elizabeth colbert busch was channeling the fighting spirit of nancy pelosi. what did you make of that? >> i think it is fascinating to me. mark sanford, i counted, mentioned nancy pelosi's name 16 times tonight. he's clearly obsessed with the wrong woman, again. this guy is just amazing because he thinks the public is so stupid, they don't understand. he wants to talk about nancy pelosi, he wants to talk about anything about his record as governor, his record with the argentina trail. huge impact is the deepening of the charleston port, which sanford voted against any federal funding for that when he was in congress before, voted against funding for the rabenow

first let's talk about immigration hurdles. here is what president obama had to say about immigration reform while speaking in costa rica a short time ago. >> comprehensive immigration reform that i'm hopeful we can pass this year after 30 years can make an enormous difference in improving what is already a system that's better than it was. >> now, senate leaders here in the u.s. are aiming to win up to 70 votes for their comprehensive immigration bill. patricia, does that look like a real possibility here? >> well, you know, as with everything in washington, the devil is in the details, and one detail that cropped up this week was an amendment that's probably going to be introduced by senate democrats to extend same-sex couples' immigration benefits. it something like that is attached to the bill, marco rubio, who is leading the republican effort said, no, this is not even going to pass, it's not going to get his vote and it will not get a large majority. it really depends what that bill looks like coming out of the senate. ba

>> well, he echoed president obama's comments this morning on the sunday talk show that the israeli air strike proves the capabilities that the syrians had were not as great as was -- that was the argument that was being used getting involved in syria, that their capabilities were really strong and they have shown they can penetrate. you're seeing some democrats come out against it. but traditionally, you're hearing it from people who are known to be hawks. and the american public is still very skittish as jackie mentioned. we're very war weary, this country. and so there isn't this strong political pressure on president obama to move on military intervention. if this crisis drags on, it could be viewed in the larger lens of how is president obama leading on the syrian crisis? >> secretary kerry's mission tomorrow is one that's going to take him to moscow or vladimir putin, of course, has been unrelenting in his support for assad. how does this complicate that trip? >> well, the reality is if kerry could work out some sort of understanding with the russians on this, it might begin to ge
